Which of these sounds familiar?
“So much is changing: my work, my family, my body. And I want to choose what comes next.”
“I’m successful, and still: I can’t do it this way for another twenty years.”
“I’m used to being the one others rely on. What do I want for myself?”
“I’m tired of functioning. I want to feel alive again.”
These questions can arise as work, relationships, family roles or your body change, as you prepare to hand over responsibility, or simply because something in you is ready for more. You can begin with the question itself. We create space to understand what it is asking of you.
What is your next chapter asking of you?
Eight questions about how you respond when something no longer fits. You'll see what your next chapter may be asking of you, and the familiar pattern that can make it hard to move towards it.
When you notice that something in your life no longer quite fits, what do you tend to do?

Becoming who you are.
From achievement to alignment: clarity about what is truly yours, inner sovereignty in how you choose, and a next chapter that feels like your own. The same three movements guide all SOULWORX work: Source, Transition, Form.
Know what to carry forward
Understand what is shifting. See which roles, patterns and expectations shaped you, and which you're ready to leave behind.
Decide from the inside
Trust your own perception again, even in uncertainty, and make a choice you can stand behind.
Live your next chapter
Turn insight into first lived steps, towards a life that feels alive and carries meaning.
WHO THIS IS FOR
People who have built a full life, carry responsibility at work, in their family or in their community, and long for more aliveness, depth and meaning in what comes next.
You don't have to give up what you've built, or know what you want. You only need the wish to become more of who you are.

Julia von Winterfeldt
“I know this moment from the inside.”
For twenty years Julia led companies through digital transformation, most recently as Managing Director of AKQA Germany. Then came her own question: who am I beyond this role? It led her to found SOULWORX in 2015. Since then she has guided leaders, organisations and individuals through transitions.
She speaks the language of responsibility, and works with more than the mind: systemic inquiry, embodiment and stillness help insight become something you can feel and live.

Not alone with the question.
“There is something incredibly powerful about making this journey together.”
“By nature I’m a structured, factual person. But I got in touch with that gut feeling: what I really want to do in life.”
“Managing the transition as a founder: restructuring my business and focus, while becoming more embodied and intentional in my personal direction.”
“For the first time in years, I stopped living by other people's expectations, and started listening to myself again.”
“So, for Julia, my three words will be: Get some Julia.”
“Some of the things that have carried me this far may not be the same things I need moving forward.”
Individual reflections from working with SOULWORX.
What you might like to know beforehand
Is this the right place for me?
If you carry responsibility at work, in your family or in your community, something in your life is changing, and you long for more aliveness, depth and meaning: yes. If you are in an acute crisis or on sick leave, stability comes first, and Julia is happy to help you find the right support.
Do I need to know what I want to change?
No. Many people begin with a sense that something is shifting, without a clear goal. Finding out what matters to you now is part of the work.
Is this only for women?
Individual coaching is open to people of all genders, in midlife and beyond. The Midlife Orientation and The Midlife Call are designed for women aged 40 and over. Check each retreat's details for its audience and language.
My life is going well. Is this really for me?
Yes. Many of the people Julia works with have achieved what they set out to achieve. The question that brings them is not how to fix a broken life, but how to live the next chapter with more depth, truth and aliveness.
I've already done a lot of coaching. What's different here?
SOULWORX bridges the cognitive and the felt sense. We work not only with goals and mindset, but with systemic inquiry, nervous system regulation, embodiment and stillness. Insight becomes something you can feel, choose and live.
What role does the body play?
Change is often felt before it can be put into words. Alongside conversation and reflection, Julia offers practices from meditation, embodiment and energy work. All exercises are voluntary; you decide what you want to explore.
Can my employer pay for it?
In many cases, yes. Leadership transitions, career orientation and professional development are frequently supported by employers. We are happy to provide an invoice suitable for company sponsorship.
Is this psychotherapy?
No. Coaching and group work are not medical or psychotherapeutic treatment and do not replace it. Julia is trained in systemic therapy and works trauma-informed, which shapes how she holds the space.
Your next chapter deserves intention.
Tell me what is changing. Together we'll look at where you stand, what could support you, and whether working together feels right.
